Find the ancestral town: Many a researcher is stuck behind records that say, BIRTHPLACE: IRELAND without saying where in Ireland, or whatever other country. Remember that your immigrant ancestors siblings probably were born in the same ancestral town, so check all of their records, too. Around 1900, the Roman Catholic churches reported marriages to the churches where the persons were baptised, and before the wedding, they would require a baptismal certificate from that church, without marriage notations, to make sure that the persons were not already married, ordained, or whatever, and were free to marry. Do check the Catholic records especially for ex loco and the home town. If your ancestors sister had a daughter who generated a marriage or death record saying, MOTHERS BIRTHPLACE: and the exact town, then you know where to start searching for records that will confirm it is your ancestors home town. BEWARE: Just because you find a family with the same names does not mean they are the same family, as they could very well be an unrelated family from a different town in the same ancestral country. The webmaster has learned this. One clue was that one family was still having babies in Potenza city, Italy while the other was having babies in Colorado, U.S.A.
